To Earl of Dudley Coal (Smith/Wright)
Dudley
Mr Jennings, a Stroud coal merchant, wants to have coal by canal. On my recommendation he says he will have a trial load from you; but first needs to know about weight. Figures given as to other collieries weights. Rate given charged on coal from the Basin to Stourport. See this as a new trade and give it a trial.
